Well they certainly are not for long hauls..but anyone that commutes under 50 miles round trip could use one every day and have no need for gas at all.

That being said…I am trying to wait for the Hybrid Plug-In Prius.

Yeah, that’s kind of expensive. And even if you aren’t paying for gas, I’m sure it’s costing electricity. I’m waiting for something that has the option to use both. You have to have some kind of emergency back-up, right?

I drive a Mini in the US…not much different, really. And sure, $35K is a lot…but not gas. Someday, we will all drive these around!

I love the concept, but I agree with Jimmy. In the U.S., one wrong move and bam…you are shredded under those huge SUVs — not to mention all the trucks.

Looks like a death trap to me. God help the people who actually buy one of these.

Seems like you’d be better off buying a Honda Civic for 50% less. Fits two extra people and it has to be safer.

$10,000 and you might have a winner, but $35k is insane.
